All three cadets will be attending college this year.They have been honored for their academics, Americanism, Patriotism, leadership, dedication,and hard work  while  being in the Junior ROTC. They have wonderful support from their families and friends. These were very impressive and one sees these cadets as wonderful future leaders in public life or in the military.
